I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 180: One outrageous move after another

Because Coach Zhang is not in a hurry to go public, those who were already anxious are now even more anxious.

The result was absolutely amazing.

On May 21st, Zhang Da'an gave his students a large lecture as usual. Since there were only half a month left until the college entrance examination, the main content was not subject training, but psychological and confidence building.

Within an academic year, there is an intensive session every twenty-one days, which is three weeks.

While Coach Zhang was speaking eloquently, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) released a "Supplementary Notice on Issues Related to the Allocation of New Shares to Secondary Market Investors." In any case, the news report early in the morning stated: "Given that the technical preparations for resuming the allocation of new shares to secondary market investors have been completed, it has been decided to resume the issuance method of allocating new shares to secondary market investors."

This notice further refines the content of the "Notice on Issues Concerning the Allocation of New Shares to Secondary Market Investors" issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission in February 1946. According to the notice, the basic principle for allocating new shares to secondary market investors is to prioritize the subscription portion based on market value. Under this premise, the allocation ratio is determined between 50% and 100%.

In short, he was just trying to make money by spreading his influence, but there was no other way. Many "powerful people" simply couldn't get into the "dog king's" circle.

No matter who comes, it won't make a difference. The "twelve brothers" of Jiangkou Province are of one mind and have no quarrels whatsoever.

We're all brothers!
Of course, it's not impossible to prevent "Dog King" from going public. Anyway, Coach Zhang doesn't care. He doesn't lack money and doesn't need to raise funds through an IPO.

Those large companies with market capitalizations of tens of billions don't even make as much profit as him in a year. They should be grateful if they have a third of his profit.

Strictly speaking, when the Jiangning City university group initially discussed this cooperation, the local state-owned investment companies didn't really think that much about it.

Whether "Xiaobai Antivirus" could be profitable was unknown; everyone was drawn to it because of its "double top score in arts and sciences" feature. Later, when it evolved into a "triple top scorer" feature, the free "Xiaobai Antivirus" had already started making money.

Despite its focus on government and corporate business, despite its success in selling "Xiaobai Input Method," and despite the fact that its "Games Division" produced a game similar to Legend of Mir, "Godslayer"...

Regardless of how you look at it, they're making a good profit from patent fees right now, and there's definitely going to be a dividend this year. But can local state-owned investment companies still be thinking about that little bit of dividend at this point?

Undoubtedly, it's for buying investment insurance. When local finances are sometimes insufficient, they can get some from the "dog king" to provide local development funds.

Another option is to use "dog king" to issue bonds. It's true that local bonds have been suspended, but is there a problem with setting up local projects through "dog king" and then issuing corporate bonds?

no problem.

At worst, he'll end up in jail.

So the commotion outside is simply unbelievable.

So there was this top-tier son of a powerful family in Jiangning City who was originally abroad. He rushed back to China, wanting to shamelessly cut in line, but no one gave his father any face.

This isn't the fault of his father; it's just that the rumors circulating in the market about the "Dog King" breaking the 200 billion mark are incredibly powerful.

Even the employees of "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." are excited every day, thinking that if they had known this would happen, they should have joined the boss earlier. One month less and they would have missed out on a thousand shares.

It's five or six thousand now, but once it's listed, it'll be thirty or forty thousand.

Unfortunately, the deal is off. This year, we'll just get some dividends, I can't say how much more. But the "gaming division" alone will produce a considerable number of people who are financially independent.

Zhang Da'an has even introduced support clauses for "internal entrepreneurship," allowing people who want to make their own games to develop them outside of work hours. The budget can be entrusted to the company, and the art, planning, and other aspects can also be handled by the company, provided that they have their own labor entrustment contract.

Once the product meets the company's standards, it can be sold or distributed by the company, or even marketed on the market. The company takes 10% of the product, and the rest is the buyer's.

For those programmers who are about to achieve financial freedom, they must have had their own dreams during their teenage years. For example, they would never develop Blood Lion 2.0. They wanted to make their own StarCraft, their own Dune, or at the very least, their own Age of Empires... Surely that would work?
In the past, with no money, no connections, and no manpower, the feasibility of starting from scratch was extremely low. Now it's different. The company may look ordinary, but in reality, it has begun to dominate the world.

Up until May 21st, the people at "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." didn't have the self-awareness of being part of a big company. After May 21st, they suddenly became confident: I'm a big company employee, so what!

It's just too surreal. I never imagined that the development would be so bizarre. To say it's an unconventional path... well, it's all legitimate, there are no off-the-beaten-path approaches.

The road we're walking on seems a bit wild.

It was also because of the support policies for "internal entrepreneurship" that all the programmers with ideas returned to their alma mater to participate in this year's "campus recruitment".

Normally, graduates would finalize their post-graduation plans in the second half of last year, but this year is quite special. A considerable number of graduates plan to test the waters in the job market directly. These people do not intend to work for state-owned enterprises and secure a "secure job," but rather they want to make money while also having a certain degree of freedom.

"Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd." is actually a company that Jiangning University Group is quite interested in this year, but "Dog King" didn't even bother to mark the various universities by urinating on them.

The logic is simple: the number of students graduating from Xindongweigang Middle School this year is already sufficient for their first and second years of university. For students with high discipline, university doesn't need to last four years; one and a half or two years is enough. The rest can be spent working while continuing to study.

At "Zhang Xiaobai Technology Co., Ltd.", there are many interns from science and engineering colleges such as Jiangning Institute of Technology, Jiangning University of Science and Technology, and Jiangning Aerospace University.

After all, once you're at the company, you call Zhang Da'an "Principal," so how could you not let him do his internship?
arrangement.

This has led to the fact that the campus recruitment by "Dog King" in cooperation with universities only accepts graduate students.

It would be best if recent undergraduate graduates were willing to come, but it's okay if they aren't.

Even if a high school graduate from 1946 or 1996 completes all four years of undergraduate studies, they would still be able to start working before 1947 or 1902, even if they spent a year playing games at home.

For Coach Zhang now, there is already a stable talent pool. Just like large companies like to hold "alumni associations," Coach Zhang can do the same, and do it even more vigorously.

Zhang Da'an hasn't started a "New Dongweigang Middle School Alumni Association" or a "New Dongweigang Middle School Anniversary Celebration" yet, but if he were to do so, it would be very influential.

However, Chief Instructor Zhang prioritizes maximizing profits, and he will absolutely not hold alumni associations or school anniversaries until these students have entered the workforce and started earning money.

Either don't hold it at all, or if you do, it has to be a large-scale celebration, something like the grand gala of "The Same Song".

Otherwise, how can we advertise?
Head Coach Zhang is just... copying what he sees.

While it was raining and thundering outside, the atmosphere inside Xindongweigang Middle School was peaceful. The students were full of confidence, and the girls had calculated their menstrual cycles rather than their safe periods. Those who needed to take drugs during the college entrance examination period prepared in advance.

This year's goal is to produce 30 top scorers from districts and counties through the "Top Scorer Class," and then to train a group of algorithm architects to prepare for future needs.

Poaching talent is nowhere near as fun as developing a "nurturing" system.

"Although the number of students taking the college entrance examination this year has increased significantly, the competition is not as fierce as in previous years. This is mainly because the scale of enrollment has been expanded. Not only has the enrollment been expanded, but a considerable number of vocational colleges have also been upgraded to undergraduate colleges."

"Within the province, three more undergraduate programs have been added this year, which basically means that students can be admitted with a score about 15 points below the undergraduate cutoff. Overall, this is beneficial to top-performing students, including us."

"So I'm not worried about my final grades at all. On the contrary, you have to be careful when filling out your college applications. You've heard that some of my seniors have interned at my companies and had pretty good results. When you fill out your applications, just follow the professional requirements explained in the job postings of the companies I run now. If you're still unsure, don't just make a decision on your own. Just pay me a consultation fee of two thousand yuan and I'll help you fill it out."

"No one from last year's class regrets it. Some of the senior students went to high schools that were completely messed up, going to prestigious universities to study unpopular majors. That's no different from going to the underworld. They have no choice but to do research, and even then, you have to be good-looking."

"Whether you want to do academic research, work in the system, go to a company, or even start your own business, don't just shut yourself in and daydream. If you have an idea, just come over with two thousand yuan for a consultation. Even if you want to launch a satellite, I have connections here. I just bought a satellite and it cost me 160 million yuan."

As the head coach, Zhang Da'an didn't hold back anything from the trainees; he explained everything clearly and explicitly what they needed to pay attention to.

Internal meetings are now held via projector in the auditorium. Except for the main campus, where I personally attend meetings, the Mazhou and Jianggao branch campuses use the auditorium in a "movie-watching" format.

That's how I watched the World Cup these days. I took the college entrance exams one thing, but watching the Chinese team win the World Cup... I still had to watch it.

"The feedback we received from students before was mainly about their concerns about their majors. After all, some students come from families that work in the system and have noticed the changes. Now, if you study humanities and go to work on projects in the industrial sector, you're basically out of luck. Nobody will give you any face. Everyone is busy working. Who has time to listen to your lectures? That's how things are changing in the province now. The industrialization process is very rapid. When it comes to individuals, if you don't have anything to offer, you're not valued. It's not like before."

"Of course, some people think that my family is so powerful that I can suppress a district or a county without fear. Well, take my advice, you should go into business as soon as possible, that way you can be more arrogant. If you choose a certain unit or department, your supervisor might also get trapped and forced to work on a sewing machine. Be magnanimous and let the unlucky guy you've never met go for now."

At this point, laughter erupted, and the parents listening in also smiled knowingly.

The changes within the province are indeed becoming increasingly dramatic.

Without the slightest hesitation.

During this period, Jiangning was not the only place in the province where "the kingship changed hands frequently"; there were many other places like it.

The times need capable and strong individuals, and those strong individuals can naturally leverage that power.

Aside from top-tier wealthy families who can continue to enjoy their wealth for three or four generations through early accumulation, their influence doesn't gradually fade away; rather, it diminishes to a certain extent and then vanishes completely in an instant.

Nothing fades away slowly; either the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, or one retreats gracefully from the limelight.

pick one of two.

Zhang Da'an is the only one who can say such things at this conference. The seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boys who can understand him are basically from well-off families.

If you don't understand, no problem, the Zhang'an Industrial Alliance welcomes you!

The salary isn't low either way.

"By the way, let me talk about what it's like to work in a company in the future. Basically, as long as you don't skip classes every day in college to play games and don't even get enough credits, you can come work for me right after graduation. I'm not really keen on talking about salary right now, but the other day the 'top student class' was bragging about how many scholarships they got by becoming the top student in a district or county, and they were even planning to come to me after graduation to earn back their tuition fees. So let's talk about it."

"Oh, those who want to listen can stay, those who don't can get lost. Those who want to play games can play games, and those who want to sleep can go to sleep."

"Next, let's talk about the salary and benefits of a few companies. First is 'Zhang'an Education'. The level one lecturers you see every day earn an annual salary of 180,000 yuan this year, and about 196,000 yuan next year. That's pure salary, not including bonuses, profit sharing, or sales commissions. If you include those, it's basically more than 500,000 yuan a year. For example, Han Tieguai, the principal of Jianggao branch and also the head of the 'Chinese Language Division,' earns more than one million yuan a year, which is more than double the apparent income of the CEO of a large state-owned enterprise."

“If you’ve mentioned the high amount, you should also mention the low amount. An assistant currently earns around five thousand a month, which is definitely much higher than the minimum wage in Shazhou City. In some large steel mills or yarn factories, that’s the level of a workshop director. This way, you can have a better understanding.”

“I’ll start by talking about ‘Zhang An Education,’ which is to give you a real understanding of the people around you. Don’t think that the elderly women and men you see every day are ordinary; they are also high-income groups.”

"Secondly, there's 'Zhang An Electronics.' For IC design engineers, including regular electrical engineers and product designers, the annual salary is around 150,000 yuan. However, the bonus pool is quite large, and the profit sharing is also quite high. So overall, the R&D positions here can earn 200,000 yuan a year, but you have to be a key member or a sub-project leader. If you just start, the starting salary is between 5,000 and 7,000 yuan, depending on your ability and the rate of salary increases. Once you pass the evaluation, there are continuous salary increases, although they are few, but they do happen."

"By the way, the 'Top Scholar Star' product alone has a prize pool of about 400 million yuan that is constantly rolling over. So even if you don't earn a million yuan this year or next, you can still break a million yuan the year after. Some of you who are particularly good at math, physics, and chemistry can go to Jiaotong University or Jiangning Institute of Technology nearby. Whether you become a materials engineer or an electrical engineer, you can recoup your investment here. It's easy to get your investment back in a year."

"So, when you go back to eat with your parents, be more confident at the dinner table. Don't listen to them saying things like they scraped together every penny to support your education. I have repeatedly forbidden them from saying such things at home, but there will always be some mentally challenged parents who want to put you on the defensive. Don't be afraid. Just say what I said: after graduating from university, come to my place and you will earn back the tuition fees for one year of Xindongweigang Middle School and four years of university in just one year."

"Remember this: if you ever can't make it on your own, come back and ask me for a favor. Do you think I'd let you starve to death at the school gate?"

Another burst of laughter ensued, causing many parents in the audience to awkwardly laugh along. "Zhang An Education" does have some constraints on family education, but since the students' homes are closed, no one knows what kind of emotional or psychological abuse the parents are engaging in. Therefore, Zhang Da'an would occasionally remind overly self-centered parents at large classes or parent meetings not to take themselves too seriously, nor to take their children too lightly.

Last year, some parents were still dissatisfied, but in the end, they all gave in.

This year is the same, just a little better than last year.

In the end, it all comes down to this: there are idiots every year.

This cannot be banned.

Because the atmosphere was good, Zhang Da'an answered every question from the trainees during the usual Q&A session.

He dares to answer any question a student asks; they can ask anything.

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, someone seized the opportunity to ask Coach Zhang personal questions.

"Brother An, I wanted to ask when you're getting married? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Shenjin, it was the same last year. Don't you guys ever get tired of this kind of question?"

Zhang Da'an said this, but still pointed with his finger, "Li Shaobai, right? You are a romantic poet just like Li Bai, both romantic and unrestrained. If you don't get the top score in your hometown this year, don't say you came from Xindongweigang Middle School when you get into university."

"However, since I already said that you can ask me anything and I will answer whatever you want, let me talk about my personal situation again."

"First of all, I don't have a girlfriend, and I never will."

"Secondly, I will never get married in my life. The reason is simple: I earn too much money, and marriage would bring a lot of trouble. I am not afraid of trouble, but I don't like trouble."

"Finally, those from Dongwei Port, no deal. A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow, so I won't, and you shouldn't be tempted either."

"Hahahahahaha..."

After the laughter subsided, the discussion moved on to a question from the Ma Zhou branch campus.

The scene then cuts to the auditorium of the Ma Zhou branch campus, where a boy stands up, holds a microphone, and asks, "Brother An, what I want to ask is, when will our economic level surpass that of Japan?"

"Dude, the college entrance exam is next month. One of you is concerned about whether I have a girlfriend, and the other is concerned about when our economy will surpass Japan's?"

"Hahahahahaha..."

"But as I said before, if you dare to ask, I dare to answer."

Zhang Da'an said into the microphone, "In terms of GDP, it will surpass [the US dollar] in eight years; in terms of industrial output, it will surpass [the US dollar] in six years; and in terms of actual living standards, it will surpass [the US dollar] in fifteen years. Remember this: quality of life depends only on the total amount of means of production and means of subsistence that you actually control, and has little to do with their prices in your home country. Zhang Bogao, since you asked this question, you must be interested, so you must avoid being misled by the numbers. Of course, if you earn US dollars in the future but spend them in your hometown, then it will still be meaningful."

This little segment is something the students always enjoy. After the footage of Zhang Bogao from the Mazhou branch school is cut off, the footage from the Jianggao branch school is switched on. You can see that Han Tieguai is quite formal, wearing a suit and tie, and is in high spirits.

When Zhang Da'an mentioned that he now earns a million a year, there were obvious exclamations at the Jianggao branch school. The students never expected that Old Han would be so arrogant.

"Brother An, it's my turn, Brother An, can you see me?"

"Alright, alright, Gongsun Jue, not only can I see you, I also see your dad in the last row covering his face. Don't ask questions that embarrass adults."

"No, no, Brother An, what I want to ask is, who will win the 'World Cup' this time?"

"You're a girl, and you watch football?"

"I want to buy football lottery tickets, what if I win?"

"The championship doesn't actually make much money, but since you've asked so sincerely, I'll be merciful and say that Brazil should lift the trophy this time."

"That's what everyone says."

"Nonsense, 'Five-time champion Brazil,' who else would guess South Korea's upset victory in the World Cup?"

"..."

Amidst the soft laughter, the female student was somewhat disappointed. Everyone was betting on Brazil to win, so what was there to bet on?
Thankfully, the question didn't get asked about Brazil's goal difference; the conversation then shifted to the main campus.

After all the commotion, the event finally came to an end.

In fact, many students wanted to participate in the "Ango Cup," but unfortunately, they had to take the college entrance examination, and the regional competition venues were in Luzhou and Jiangning, which were too far away. So they could only wait until after the college entrance examination to see if there was still a chance to find a regional competition to register for.

Fortunately, Zhang Da'an created an independent regional competition for "current high school graduates' supplementary competition" in the "Ango Cup", so high school graduates who are really interested can still make good use of their time during the summer vacation to practice their game skills.

Another notable feature of this confidence-building conference was that many parents were themselves involved in education and training, and they sent their children to "Zhang An Education" specifically to audit the classes.

With this connection, it's hard to say what else is available, but buying materials from "Zhang An Education" is much cheaper.

Another point is that the "Zhang An certification" is relatively easier to pass. It's not that the review process is lenient, but rather that you have a better understanding of the content of the certification exam. In school, there's an exam syllabus, and the teacher outlines the scope; in the professional world, there's also an exam syllabus, but no teacher outlines the scope for you.

Well, having a certificate or not is a different matter.

The "Zhang An Certification" is not issued indiscriminately. In the six cities of Chongzhou, Xiangtai, Wudu, Taihu, Zhongwu, and Jiangning, small-class teachers in training courses can charge an extra 10,000 yuan for having a certificate, making it highly valuable.

With this certificate, you can get a diploma from a top-tier normal university, regardless of whether it's a foreign language school or any other school with different social circles.

This is why some parents who work in this industry get involved themselves; it's a real money-maker.

They can't afford to charge 100,000 or 200,000 yuan here, but they can easily charge 10,000 or 2,000 yuan. If they focus on the district and county market, it's actually quite good. Using the fees from a small class to offset their own children's tuition fees is a long-term investment.

Similar to these parents, there are also some extraordinary "low-key" parents who simply cannot get access to the subscription channels and cannot afford the "dog king's" premium dog food. They can only grit their teeth and send another child to Xindongweigang Middle School.

After that, they opened a store on Zhuangyuan Street or became a supplier at Zhuangyuanlou. With this channel relationship, they participated in the "Dog King" premium dog food tasting event under the name of "employees" of Zhuangyuanlou or Zhuangyuan Street.

This was almost the most outrageous approach, but surprisingly, even those powerful young masters in Jiangning, who were already fed up with their power struggles, chose to do it this way.

Regardless of whether it's shameful or not, just ask yourself if you've even qualified.

Of course, if the "King of Dogs" could buy them all, spending 30 billion wouldn't be a bad deal...

If we had the money, we would definitely buy it; and if Zhang Da'an was willing to sell, we would sell everything we own to buy it.

Unfortunately, it's just a thought, and that's all it can be.

In one of the few moments when even those who have achieved great merit can only watch helplessly, the "Twelve Brothers" of Jiangkou Province are comparable to the "Twelve Vajras"—they are so damn united.

By the end of May, Coach Zhang was thinking that there shouldn't be any more outrageous moves coming out, right?

When he went to Jiangning to inspect the expansion project of the "Top Scholar Star" production line, Old Chen brought a group of talented young people from Jianghuai Province to him and said that there was good news!

The person who came to deliver this good news was a "spirited young man" from Jianghuai Province. Although he had dyed yellow hair and wore "beggar's clothes," his grandfather had dedicated most of his life to the Construction Bank and made significant contributions.

It is rare and touching.

"Mr. Zhang, I..."

“We’re all young people, there’s no need to be so serious. If you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Zhang or Brother An.”

"Brother An".

After flicking his yellow bangs, which resembled Iori Yagami's hairstyle, the "energetic young man" delivered a message that was anything but "unconventional."

"Next month on the 3rd, China Construction Bank will hold its first debt-for-asset auction week in 24 cities across the country."

"..."

Dude, with your appearance, I'd be more accepting if you asked me, "Are you a girl or a guy?"

For a fleeting moment, Coach Zhang sensed the incongruity of the world and almost lost his mind.

This is just too...unbelievable.

"really?"

"It's definitely real, the bag is real."

He flicked his blond hair again, looking completely matter-of-fact, "Tomorrow, there will be a press conference in Beijing for the first auction of debt-for-asset swaps, and my sister will be the spokesperson."

"Brilliant."

Zhang Da'an was truly impressed and gave him a thumbs up.

Those who know this kind of news must have known it for a long time, and they must have already prepared their chips, planning to make a killing.

Those who find out now aren't too late, but they certainly won't be able to raise much money.

As for those "solo stragglers," if they miss the "First Debt-for-Asset Auction Week Press Conference," it's as if they didn't see it, as if it never happened.

Furthermore, these large-scale auction projects are usually like "finding gold in the trash," and without comprehensive capabilities, it's not guaranteed that you can acquire all the good items.

For example, some are commercial properties, but if people are living in them, you have to find a way to "invite" them out first before the properties can be put on the market.

If you can't "invite" them out, then this commercial housing is just for show; it's called a fixed asset, but in reality, it's a dead asset.

Then there's the matter of land, which makes things even more complicated. If there are collective interests involved, it's common for development to stall for eight or ten years once a dispute arises, and some land can even remain abandoned for twenty or thirty years.

Therefore, it depends on one's insight and ability.

However, since this "spirited young man" dared to come over, he certainly wasn't there to find "Brother An" to go out and have a good time. The young man just looked like "Yellow Hair," but he wasn't actually Yellow Hair; similarly, his beggar clothes didn't mean he was a real beggar.

He's into "visual style" fashion, but Coach Zhang doesn't really know much about it.

Do you know how many projects there are?

"More than two thousand, around four billion. I have a list here, all clean and without disputes, including land, real estate, luxury cars like Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis. Brother An, if you think it's suitable, you can give me a Subaru later."

"No... bro, you have Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and you're telling me you want a Subaru?"

"An Ge, who is one with his vehicle."

"..."

Divine gold.

Don't ask why this "spirited young man" put in so much effort, only to end up with a used Subaru. The problem mainly lies with his grandfather.

He truly dedicated most of his life to his work.

His father didn't get any benefits, and neither did he. While others were racing Ducatis, he could only ride a cheap motorcycle in the suburbs of Luzhou, and he was too embarrassed to even modify the exhaust.

The fact that he was able to find Zhang Da'an on his own merits, and was introduced by Old Chen, is all because he and his father partnered up to use the old man's reputation.

While Grandpa went on a "golden age tourism" trip to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, Dad and I went to find Grandpa's old subordinates and, without regard for principles, managed to get some good stuff.

The young man had no ill intentions; he just wanted to drive a used Subaru. His middle-aged father, however, had a different idea: he planned to use the technological achievements developed by the school to acquire some shares in "Dog King."

That's right, the father of the "spirited young man" is the head of a department at a local college in Jianghuai Province. By a stroke of luck, the school decided to appoint him as the dean of "Zhang An Software College"!

They were only interested in his management skills, nothing more.

If you don't give it your all when you reach middle age, you'll never have another chance.

This is an opportunity that is almost impossible to come by again in one's life, whether from the perspective of financial freedom or rapid advancement.

Although there is no "Zhang An Software Academy" in this world, it can exist!
"Huang Mao" is surnamed Huang, nicknamed TuTu, and formal name Huang Tu. Before Huang Tu was given more meaning, he was a good kid. Later, when he went to junior high school, his classmates all thought his father's name was Huang Pian.

Do you want to be a coward for life, or a hero for three minutes?

After Huang Tutu grabbed a stool and smashed it into his classmate's head, causing him to need three needles, he transferred schools and began his "Yellow Hair" life.

Actually, it wasn't for very long. I was just wandering around the streets of Luzhou, but I looked down on the street thugs, so I preferred to hang out alone and go to internet cafes by myself.

By the way, Huang Tutu never goes online in Luzhou; he always rides his motorcycle from one provincial capital in Jianghuai Province to another.

In Jiangning, overnight stays are cheap; there are plenty of illegal internet cafes that charge only four yuan a night, and even legitimate internet cafes don't cost more than twenty yuan.

He just watches a movie and then video chats with girls online who have webcams.

He lived a carefree life until he saw pictures of Subaru online, which roused him.

Man and machine become one!
Uncle.

His father didn't live in Fandou Garden either, and of course, his name wasn't Huang Yingjun, but Huang Jianguo, a very common name.

Huang Jianguo did not follow in his father's footsteps to study economics and finance, but instead taught materials engineering at Jianghuai Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, where he achieved some results, though not many.

The main problem is that the school is too remote; it's not in Luzhou, the provincial capital, but in Jiuzi City along the river.

If local universities can't get the necessary funds in Luzhou, they have to go to Jiangning. A few years ago, when Jiuzi City helped Jianghuai Engineering and Technology College obtain undergraduate program qualifications, they went to Jiangning to find a way.

For some of the achievements of the professional programs, any undergraduate science and engineering student in Jiangning City could easily contribute one.

There is a fairly frequent exchange of high-level talents between the two sides. Huang Jianguo mainly works with his old classmates at Jiangning University of Technology (formerly Jiangning University of Chemical Technology). Some of his papers on organic materials were done at Jiangning University of Chemical Technology, but now he is working at Jiangning University of Technology.

If it weren't for the "Dog King" going public, he could have just endured another ten years or so of his life, retired, and everything would have been fine.

Just then, such a huge gold mine appeared in Jiangning City. Isn't that much better than the "Purple Mountain Scenic Area"?!
You need to improve.

So, taking advantage of his father Huang Wencheng's participation in a "retired cadre tour group," he and his son Huang Tu gritted their teeth and gave gifts to his father's former subordinates.

There are no more benefits, but doing me a favor... is still an option.

Anyway, they'll say everything at the press conference, but they won't explain the pros and cons of the more than two thousand auction items in detail.

Huang Jianguo then contacted Lao Chen through an old classmate. Since Lao Chen also had students working in brother units in Jianghuai Province, the two sides communicated and felt that they could both make more contributions to the country and society, which led to the meeting with Zhang Da'an.

Huang Jianguo originally hoped that his son would dress more formally, at least with a middle parting and a suit, to look like an adult.

Fortunately, Old Chen was one of the two hundred "outstanding individuals" in Jiangkou Province. He could tell at a glance that Chief Instructor Zhang was a person who did not care about details and even had all sorts of bizarre and abnormal psychology. Therefore, Huang Tutu was the same way he was when he met Chief Instructor Zhang.

That's good.

Old Chen pondered whether Zhang Da'an's current status in the underworld was genuine or just an act, and couldn't see through it at a glance.
Sure enough, it worked well. The "yellow-haired" guy, dressed in beggar's clothes, was incredibly sincere in his pursuit of a used Subaru.

"A used Subaru? You're too kind. What other used cars are you interested in? Tell me."

"I want a Subaru."

"Isn't a Lamborghini cool?"

"It doesn't suit my temperament."

"..."

Awesome.

Zhang Da'an smiled and then asked, "Have you gone to university yet?"

"I didn't even finish junior high school. I spent a year and a half at Jiuzi Vocational High School before dropping out."

"So, I don't think a used Subaru is very appealing. If I'm going to drive, I'll drive a new one, and buy it myself based on my own ability. What do you think?"

"..."

Huang Tutu captured the essence of the character perfectly, tossing her hair again, and said, "I can't afford a secondhand one on my own; I have to rely on my dad and mom."

"I recently added an 'adult education business.' You can enroll here in the Chengdong District. You can get an adult bachelor's degree in two years, and after graduation, you can go straight to work at 'Zhang'an Electronics.'"

"Give me a pawnshop."

"Chairman and General Manager."

"..."

Seeing Zhang Da'an joking with him, Huang Tutu laughed and said, "I'll think about it."

"Haha, you fucking..."

Zhang Da'an patted his shoulder, "I guarantee you'll have food to eat."

"I haven't been to school for over a year..."

When it came down to it, this "yellow-haired guy" still showed his weakness.

Zhang Da'an smiled. Fear and not wanting to are not the same thing.

Just now he could casually talk about two thousand auction items, and he could talk about over four billion without batting an eye. That's because Huang Tu doesn't care about those things at all, except for a used Subaru.

Now, he genuinely wants to change his environment to continue his studies; he really does.

As for how to determine whether it is real or fake?
The fact that he got such a "yellow-haired" look but didn't have a single tattoo on his body already speaks volumes.

This "yellow-haired" person is a form of camouflage or a warning coloration.

Zhang Da'an was also quite curious. Logically speaking, an official's family shouldn't have ended up like this. How did his elders manage to make him so conflicted?

However, none of that matters now. For Coach Zhang, the auction week organized by the Construction Bank on the 3rd of next month is important. He doesn't care about other places, but he has to keep an eye on the land to be auctioned in the Yangtze River Delta region, especially the factory buildings in Jiangning, which are of great interest to him and happen to be connected to one of the plots of land.

"Go back and tell your dad that I'll be in Jiangning from tonight until tomorrow, and he's in..."

"Jiuzi, the Jianghuai Engineering and Technology College in Jiuzi City."

Old Chen added that since he had spoken with Huang Jianguo, he naturally knew that the high-quality projects that Jiangning City was going to auction would definitely be attractive to Zhang Da'an.

"Let him bring any decent research project he can find."

Zhang Da'an looked at Huang Tu and Lao Chen and said those words.
